I am wondering is you'd be willing to check this obituary and any other sources you may have for pertinent information. I have been searching for my great-great-grandfather, James Henry Gillon, Sr.. JHGSr. was born in Connecticut (we believe in Norwich) about 1825. In 1848 he marries in Bibb Co., Ga. He appears in DeKalb Co. Ga. in the 1850 census as a railroad engineer. By 1860, he is back in Bibb Co. working for the Burnswick and Macon line. He dies in January 1865. All of his male children and most of his male grandchildren are associated with the railroads. Just hoping. Thanks in advance for your assistance. --John Gillon

I need help in getting my Hannah Osborns straighten out. The John Osborn that married Ann Oldage (only child of Richard Oldage) They had a daughter Hannah on Dec 18, 1657 at Windsor, Weymouth, MA. Does anyone have the birth records for this town to see if it was 1657 or 1651 and if it listed parents.? According to Ancestry website below they have this Hannah (John and Ann Oldage Osborn) married 1st to Elias Shadock (DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT Year?) and Benjamin Eggleston in 1678. In the 2nd website below it has this same Hannah (of John and Ann Oldage Osborn) born in Dec 18 1651 and married to John Ashcraft (September 12, 1670 in Stonington, New London County Connecticut.) He died in 1680 and she married second? Deliverance Blackman (1695 in Stonington, New London County Connecticut ). Now in Savage it lists the Shaddock and Eggleston marriages A Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers of New England, Before 1692 Volume #3 By James Savage http://www.usgennet.org/usa/vt/state/savage/bk3/oderic-osier.htm OSBORN, OSBOURN, or OSBURN, .

Prob. descend. are there; and one Thomas A. mariner from Boston, d. Sept. 1724, at Bay of Honduras, leav. will made here 13 Jan. 1723. In the third webpage has her married to first Ashcraft, then Shaddock then Eggleston. However, if she married Ashcraft in 1670, Shaddock in 1676 and Eggleston in 1678 There is a problem in Ashcraft didn't die in 1680! (The Minor Diaries) And what about poor Deliverance Blackman who was supposed to have married her in 1695. Eggleston didn't die until 1709? So the Hannah Osborn I care about is the wife of John Ashcraft. who was her mother if not Ann Oldage??? I check Worldconnect and most people have her with 3 -4 husbands. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ 1st webpage http://members.aol.com/jancestry/JAncestry/newpage17.htm **** Source: The Descendants of John Porter, Volume II I.

Hi All, Isaiah and Elizabeth (Tefft) Green resided in Stonington. Isaiah's inventory of 1841 lists a Family Bible. Does anyone have any idea of where it would now be located, or whether the inscriptions have been transcribed and recorded? The Bible may pertain to the GREEN(E) family or the TEFFT family. Isaiah's father was Joshua Green of Charleston, Washington County, RI. Elizabeth's father was George Tefft of South Kingstown, RI, and later Lebanon, CT, then Bolton/Vernon, CT. Any information which would help me track down the actual Bible or the family records contained therein would be dearly appreciated! Judi (Isaiah's 4G Granddaughter) in Virginia
